On Tuesday of Chol HaMoed, I will be leading a fun tour of Ein Gedi, Masada and the Dead Sea. There are still a few spots open if you would like to come along! This will be a family friendly tour and children are welcome.
Waterfall at Ein Gedi
Ein Gedi is a natural oasis in the Judean Desert. It is mentioned in the Bible as a place where David went to take refuge from Saul who was chasing him.
We will also see the ancient Synagogue of Ein Gedi with its beautiful mosaic floor which is over 1,700 years old.
Next we will go to Masada -the amazing desert fortress built by Herod and later used by rebels as the last hold out after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem
We will also have an opportunity to go into the water of the Dead Sea at the beautiful, new separate beach at Ein Bokek.
The tour costs $99 per person and includes transportation in a climate controlled bus from Jerusalem. There is a 10% discount for children under 12. The tour is being organized by Artzeinu Tours. To book call Rivkah at 02 587 1718 from Israel or 718-701-3690 from the US
I am also happy to do this as a private tour when it is convenient for you. Contact me to set it up.
